I have Ghostly Prison in there as a safety net. So say i have prison out and a bunch of creatures and I attack with them all then the Ghostly Prison prevents them from attacking with everything unless they have a crap load of mana.

in your deck i see the card holy day. i feel its a bit weak and almost a filler, i would recommend path to exile over it. as you are playing a early game deck the disadvantage of them having an extra land does not matter a huge amount as this card helps clear the path of things stopping you.

p.s. i didn't read the comments there are to many so sorry if this has already been covered

It hasn't but I never thought about that. I'll consider that, but Path to Exile lets your opponent get a land card and put it onto the battlefield from there deck and that might cause more problems.

maby but as a rush deck you do need to get there scary things out of the which will stop you rushing your opponent . also you never want to use his card before turn three or the advantage they get is a problem. but if you can kill them fast i think there is no problem in giving a land because they cant use it. but if you really dont want to use path to exile change holy day is so bad in play , you could have 4 game changing cards in its place.

I took the day to reflect on your idea on Path to Exile and i came up with this; I'm going to take out four Holy Day and put in four Journey to Nowhere . I think that will work. It gives my opponents something to use there Erase or Naturalize on instead of my enchantments. I was thinking Chained to the Rocks was going to work then i realized it's enchant mountain you control so that wont work

I vote Path to Exile over Journey to Nowhere simply because Path to Exile is a white staple in modern were as Journey to Nowhere is not and also that one less mana goes a long way plus its a instant. The only time I would use Journey over Path is if I have some enchantment deck going on even still Path can be even better.

Alright If 2 people are telling m the same thing I should listen to them. I'll talk what you've said into consideration and I'll pick up some Path to Exile when I get the money. thanks for the advise

If you are going to have ghostly prison then maybe think about Norn's Annex as well, maybe as sideboard.

I really like Norn's Annex . But im considering just pulling Ghostly Prison all together.

I would put in Mosquito Guard over Elite Vanguard . First strike is actually more useful early game than the extra power. Plus if you don't want to use him later-game you can just discard him and toss an extra +1/+1 counter on something.

Thats good but im trying to keep it mono human soldier so i can use Bonds of Faith on every creature in the deck if needed.

Fair enough.

Hi,

After playtested we can say that all your hand is put near t4 / t5.

So, nice aggro deck, but if you want some more longevity, try to add Mentor of the Meek .

I dislike the Ghostly Prison , because it doesn't help you so much (the more your opponent attack, the less he can block) and Bonds of Faith are too weak i think (i mean : isn't a creature greater than a boost/block spell in your deck?).

If you search for a quick t1 creature don't forget Student of Warfare .

Also, you can probably find something interesting in my mono-white human deck :

I feel like Precinct Captain belongs here

Red-Skull says... #16

Its funny when I first built this deck he was in it. But he slows me down. On turn two I can play 2 Boros Elite or 1 Precinct Captain . I'm leaning torward 1 drop creatures mainly

Aggro means aggressive and quick deck =)

wikipedia explains greater than me :

Like you i prefer playing more 1drop creatures than a Precinct Captain (which is blocked every time he attacks)

Get a 4th Champion of the Parish ! =)

Hey, I've got a fairly similar deck, it's a white weenie as well with more of a lifegain theme, If you could check it out that would be awesome, the link is here Soul Sista

This may have been said -- I didn't ready every comment -- so if it has, sorry. BUT... I love decks like this, and my one suggestion would be to replace the Elite Vanguard with 4x Dryad Militant instead. Functionally, they're almost identical -- except the Dryad also "does something", much like the Soldier of the Pantheon does. Most of the time it won't matter a bit, but if you're playing against a deck with lots of flashbacks, Dredge, a strategy based around Deathrite Shaman OR any reanimator style decks. She isn't a Human, but she does have the all-important Soldier type, which is probably good enough since most of your synergy is based around that, rather than Humans.

Just my 2 cents, hope it helps!

Pretty nice build, +1 :) Have you considered splicing red to have access to Lightning Bolt (and possibly some sideboard goodies)?

I while back i put in black for the use of Grave Pact and it worked a little bit but it was too slow. I feel this deck will function best on mono white. But maybe later on i'd consider putting in red.

I have also built a standard white weenie deck, mine includes Hopeful Eidolon for a turn 1 play, then turn 2 for 2 x Ethereal Armor as he adds to the enchantment count to swing for 7/7 lifelink on turn 2, if you have a third Ethereal Armor in your hand, then you can swing for lethal on turn 3.

Add fetches, and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben

Red-Skull says... #24

Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is good but she slows down my enchantments so idk. As for Hopeful Eidolon I'm trying to keep it mono white human soldier.

January 9, 2014 8:55 p.m.

Maybe splash blue for 2x Sphinx's Revelation . Because you were looking for a draw spell.
